Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
ASA is not toxic by dermal application on rabbit. This confirm the low dermal penetration.
Executive summary:

With an LD50 > 7940 mg/kg in rabbit, ASA is not classified and did not justify any further study with rat.
